You do not need a permit to build a fence. It is
your responsibility to locate your own property lines. There are also separate restrictions for
fences depending what yard fences are to be built in. Contact City Hall for
further information regarding fences.

The Official Zoning Map for the City of Algona
is kept in the Public Works Director’s office. Zoning of a property can be
determined by either call City Hall or stopping at City Hall during normal
business hours.

Depending on the type of
permit, different inspections may be needed. Inspections are scheduled on a
first-come, first serve basis and must be requested 24 hours in advance. Call
the Planning & Zoning Department at 515-295-2411 for
specific information or to schedule an inspection.
